Delaney Hall hunger strikers demanded release of the elderly, the youth, and the vulnerable. And then release of everyone inside!

There are now NO pregnant women in Delaney Hall.

And today the high school senior is released and ready to graduate.

Some down, ALL to go!

#UUTwitter, our faith calls us to act not only from compassion but from clarity—to make visible the knowledge, structures, & practices that sustain inequity, & to transform them into systems of shared power & shared poss.

Yesterday, faith leaders, advocates, and community members gathered in Lansing to walk and pray in solidarity with our immigrants friends and neighbors.

Together, we raised our voices for peace, justice, compassion, and policies that uphold the dignity of all people. As NETWORK Executive Director Laurie Carafone shared, our faith calls us to be in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors and work toward a future where every person can live in peace, safety, and opportunity.

In a time of fear and division, we witnessed the power of community, public witness, and hope. Thank you to everyone who joined us in this sacred space.

#UUTwitter, Congress must redress and contest our increasingly inhumane, brutal, and expanding Immigration Detention System

The disregard for basic humanity must stop.

The casual violence and brutality must end.

Bond hearings let a judge, not just an officer, decide whether detention is necessary. Removing that step has real consequences for families, communities, and the courts themselves.

Our explainer walks through how it works:

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

For the past week, anti-ICE activists have been protesting at Delaney Hall, an immigration detention facility where detainees have reportedly engaged in a hunger strike. As journalist Amanda Moore explains in a new Mother Jones video, the demonstrators have erected barricades and are attempting to stop law enforcement vehicles.

The feds have responded with force, using vast amounts of noxious pepper spray and driving demonstrators into a road full of semis and buses. "ICE agents regularly push protesters into the street, even when trucks are driving by," Moore reports. One protester "was shoved into the wheel well of a truck, which then ran over his foot."

You can watch Amanda's shocking story here, and be sure to follow her for more reporting as the situation develops.

A nation’s story is shaped by the people who help build it. As the United States marks 250 years, our partners at the Latino Christian National Network are hosting a Worship Service of Lament and Hope on June 28th at 5PM ET.

"I have a client in 2A and he just called me terrified saying that masked ICE agents are inside the facility attacking everyone and there is blood all over the place in his unit.”

Delaney Hall and all detention facilities across the country need to be SHUT DOWN. #ICEOutofNJ NOW!

[NJ Alliance for Immigrant Justice @NJAIJ]

“I just heard from someone who's there outside. Teargas on 2A and 2B and at least one person bleeding. 911 refused to respond.”

🚨‼️We are on the ground at Delaney Hall where people inside the facility are being retaliated against with pepper spray and batons.

Here is what we know:

“They were pepper-spraying inside. My client could barely breathe, was crying and in a lot of pain. This call was 5 minutes ago. It is now 1:55 EST. It sounded like absolute chaos.”

This is abusive and inhumane.

#SHUTITDOWN

[NJ Alliance for Immigrant Justice @NJAIJ]

At around 1:30PM today, individuals detained in Units 2A and 2B were attacked by ICE agents. According to reports from people inside, ICE was pepper spraying entire units.

Below are a few of these first hand accounts.
